Skin and gut dysbiosis, as well as immune dysregulation, have been observed in the development of atopic dermatitis, a complex disease with multifactorial causes.8

2 Atopic dermatitis is characterized by the activation of type 2 lymphocytes resulting in an overactive and exaggerated immune response.(9)

INFLAMMATION

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that appears in periodic flare-ups.9 The inflammation observed is the result of an immune dysregulation.9
